McGreevey seeking to become Episcopal priest
Former Gov. James E. McGreevey has started the process to become a priest in his newly adopted Episcopal faith and has been accepted into a three-year seminary program starting this fall.
McGreevey, who often described himself as a devout Catholic while in public office, was officially received into the Episcopal religion on Sunday, at St. Bartholomew’s Church in Manhattan.
He also has been accepted into the Master of Divinity program at Manhattan’s renowned General Theological Seminary, seminary spokesman Bruce Parker said in a statement this afternoon.
I expect there’ll be a return visit to the confessional self-help and possitive affirmationtm venuetm.
Here’s the reaction from another Jim:
Well, now here we are. At the same time that this crud is back on the state payroll and is tying up valuable court time slugging it out in what promises to be an ugly custody dispute, and at the same time that his soon-to-be former wife has published her own account of life with the governor and is making an appearance
on Oprah[the confessional self-help and possitive affirmation venuetm], we learn that he really is doing all things one does to become an Episcopalian priest.I gotta tell ya. Living in Jersey is farookin’ adventure.
Jersey: it’s a heck of a place!
Update: Instapundit quotes Mark Stein
On any Sunday morning, there are more Anglicans in the pews in Nigeria than in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada combined.
Indeed.
Apparently, the Episcopal church likes to have forsworn liars who cheat on their wives as priests.
Especially since it hasn’t been two years since he was talking about how Catholic he was.
